10 Times Celebrity' Children Melt Their Parents' Hearts By Wholesome Gestures

Raising kids is never easy, especially when you are a famous Hollywood superstar. Not only do they have to nurse and educate them from birth like a normal person, but also need to keep them away from the public and media headlines at the same time. Likewise, the child also has to deal with all the pressure of being a celebrity kid from a very young age, which can make them crumble anytime.
That said, there are still a lot of examples of good parenting done right in the Entertainment industry, and many of them have very bonding relationships. And just like us, celebrities wouldn't hesitate to express their love and gratitude to their beloved mom and dad, but sometimes, they can even take it to another level. Let's see how the children of famous stars pay tribute to their parents in unique and beautiful ways that we can hardly comprehend.

Carrie Fisher didn't get to finish her work on the Star Wars trilogy after her passing in 2016, but her Princess Leia legacy lives on, thanks to none other than her daughter, Billie Lourd. With a little help from modern technology, Lourd has successfully filled in certain scenes for her beloved mother (on the picture above, Lourd is on the left side, the right side is the final product) . "It's a gift from her," said an emotional Lourd as she spoke about the experience to the press.

From a very young age, Eva Amurri had the chance to travel around the world with her mother, and every day was an adventure for the young girl. The two were extremely close, and Amurri got to learn a lot from Sarandon.
"I think the biggest lesson there was just the permission to want a lot for yourself, career-wise, as a woman. I think that was extremely valuable to me. I think [my mother] really unapologetically... went after what she needed to be fulfilled. So it was nice to just have that example." She recalled.

Being a stepdad doesn't stop Antonio Banderas from being a wonderful figure for the young Dakota Johnson. “I got a bonus dad who I realized, over time, is actually one of the most influential people in my life", she jubilantly told the press at the Hollywood Film Awards in 2019.

Not only Banderas, but Johnson's mother Melanie Griffith also got her fair share of love from her dear daughter. In the movie Fifty Shades Freed, Johnson said: "I expect you to call me Ana. I don’t expect you to fetch me coffee unless you’re getting some for yourself....and the rest we’ll just make up as we go along, okay?”, which is almost identical to her mother's line in Working Girl! This little reference was a nice touch from Johnson to express her feelings to her mother.

It's never easy for children when their parents divorce, but Bruce Willis and Demi Moore put in a lot of effort to make sure that their daughters receive nothing but the best. Their eldest daughter, Rumer, who is also an actress herself, said: I'm so thankful and grateful that my parents made such an effort at that time. I never had to split up vacations or split up birthdays. They always made an effort to do all of the family events still together and made such an effort to still have our family be as one unit, as opposed to two separate things, which I think really made an impact."
